Unanimous Consent Request--H.r. 4238
Senator Budd asked the Senate to pass the Disaster Loan Accountability and Reform Act, a bill requiring the Small Business Administration to give Congress regular reports on the disaster loan program and warn when funding is running low. He said the bill responds to problems after Hurricane Helene, when disaster loan money ran out, and would keep small businesses able to get help. Senator Markey objected to passing it by unanimous consent, saying he supports accountability in disaster programs but believes the administration is treating Democratic states unfairly in awarding disaster aid, and he wants hearings on that first. Budd replied that Markey had supported the bill in committee, said he had pushed for fixes for his own state without blocking other senators’ bills, and asked Markey to stop blocking it.Written by AI from the debate.
